Hello,
Picked up a used pedal from Music go round a weeks ago, Love the pedal, My only problem is everytime I come back to it the battery is dead. I assumed if the red LED was off it is not drawing any power? is that not true?
Not true, if you leave the guitar cord plugged in to the "in" socket the power will still be on, and the battery will be drained. Leaving the cord plugged in to the "out" socket usually doesn't drain power. To check this, try unplugging the cord that goes to the "in" socket & push the foot switch - the light shouldn't come on. Just remember to pull the cord out when done playing each time.

Hey thanks Dan, I'll give that a try when I get home from work.
Buy yourself a Onespot and stop wasting your money on batteries you'll be glad you did. I have the same pedal and I few others and they are all the same they drain batteries, especially if you leave it plugged in. And the batteries always seem to die when you need them the most.

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!

+1 on the Onespot. No more batteries & you can leave your pedals plugged in all the time! 8)
